In short
EFL is seeking a savvy senior developer / tech lead to take EFL’s technology and product development efforts to the next level. As the tech lead, you will have technical ownership over the full EFL stack: Mobile front-end UI customization for use in emerging economies -> systems and database infrastructure -> back-end asynchronous scoring systems -> integrating mobile, social, and GIS data into EFL’s product -> building integration platform and framework for plugging EFL into other fintech platforms. You will lead a team of junior developers and contractors across all aspects of development, making day-to-day design decisions and managing team development through usage of scrum best practices. You will design a development process that works and leads to fast product iterations that work across multiple continents for some of the most challenging environmental conditions. You will be an uber-efficient developer and have years of battle scars to prove it.
Location
We have both real and virtual offices in Lima Peru and Boston. Relocation to Boston or Lima is not required, however, as the majority of the dev team is currently in Lima Peru, this position will require relocation to Lima or an initial period of 2-3 months of up-front time spent in Lima followed by remote work with periodic trips back to Lima. It’s an interesting time to be in Peru – the economy is taking off and EFL is situated right in the middle of it. With its headquarters in the heart of the Miraflores district, EFL is in the middle of a vibrant local community with an exploding food and cultural scene, year-round great surf, and easy access to travel throughout South America. You will have the opportunity to travel to visit clients in Peru and other regions in Latin America to understand first-hand how EFL’s tools are used in the field to increase access to finance. Remote working is an option but strong preference is for North or South America due to proximity and time zone.
